Why host ERP in the cloud?

   ACCESS YOUR ERP ANYTIME, FROM ANYWHERE

One of the main advantages of hosting your ERP in the cloud is having access to your data & reports whether you are home, in the office, on holiday, or on a business trip.

   UPGRADE YOUR HARDWARE IN A FEW MINUTES

Do you need a stronger server? Do you need more users and your RAM is not sufficient anymore? Upgrading your CPU, RAM or SSD has never been simpler.

   NO NEED TO MAINTAIN THE HARDWARE

One of the most time-consuming & costly aspects of having your own server is maintenance. With the cloud, this is 100% taken care of!

Cloud Hosting vs. On-Premise

More companies are choosing cloud hosting over on-premise, because of the ample benefits the cloud solution will bring to the business. Here are the main benefits that you will get if you will choose Cloud Hosting.

Smaller long-term and short-term investment

On-premise hosting requires a large up-front amount of money invested into the purchase and management of the software, related hardware, and servers,  If your company doesn't have an experienced IT staff, you may also have to invest time and money in hiring and training new personnel. It's important to take into consideration the investment of time and budget of the IT team, to ensure your system is up and running.  

Flexibility based on your requirements

One of the main benefits of cloud-based ERP. As your company grows, your ERP system grows with you, and soon you will need to upgrade your server. If you are hosting your system on-premise you have less flexibility since you need to invest time into purchasing new hardware and again it's time-consuming for your IT staff to make sure your new hardware runs smoothly.

In cloud hosting, the hardware resources are managed by the cloud hosting vendor and can be scaled up on-demand based on your business requirements. 

Improved system performance and security

Cloud ERP often delivers better performance than on-premise hosting. The cloud solution infrastructure is designed to maximize network performance which can mean better system availability than the on-site solution. Not only does cloud-hosted ERP provide better performance but also high security. Cloud hosting solution providers like Port Cities consider system security as a top priority in the service quality we offer.

FAQs ABOUT CLOUD HOSTING OF ODOO ERP

There are several aspects which you need to take into consideration, while estimating the needed HW for your hosting. 
You should be able to answer these basic questions:

  • How many concurrent users will be accessing your Odoo? Concurrent users = internal Odoo users accessing your Odoo at the same time.

  • What is your scope of operations?  Will you run a website or an e-shop? How many visitors do you expect daily, how many orders will you receive daily

  • Are there any potentially heavy customizations or integrations with a 3rd party software?

In general, the minimum needed configuration for your Odoo (up to 10 concurrent users) is 2 CPU, 4 GB RAM & 40 GB SSD.

Again, there is not a universal answer for this, as it depends on a lot of criteria:

  • Where is your company located?

  • In case you have a website running on Odoo, which markets (countries) are you targeting?

  • What is your budget for the server hosting?

  • Are you able to pay your hosting yearly, or you wish to pay lower amounts more frequently?
